It seems that the happy days of "GTA V" Online cheaters have now come to an end. The developers behind the popular video game have finally countered one of the most famous cheats to have come to the game, much to the chagrin of its players.
Game Spot reported that Rockstar Games, the studio behind "Grand Theft Auto," has finally come up with a fix to end the game cheating brought on by certain vehicles from the single player mode crossing over to the multiplayer mode.
"GTA V" Online players have found a way to spawn the Duke O'Death car, which is only available to "GTA V." The addition of the said vehicle to the online version has given players a certain kind of advantage over other players' cars, notes Master Herald.
When the developers found out the glitch, they set on to fix it but not without giving cheaters a taste of their own medicine. Instead of just removing the vehicle from the multiplayer mode, Rockstar has found a way to destroy and render it useless to its owner.
As soon as a player enters the Duke O'Death, it explodes into little bits and pieces.
Renowned "GTA" tipster and YouTube user, DomisLive, has outlined the new fix in a video he uploaded, reported IB Times.
He revealed that the anti-cheat mode would start as soon as a player enters the vehicle, starts the engine and proceeds to drive it outside the garage.
A black smoke would come out of the hood, indicating that the vehicle is about to explode.
Some players did not take Rockstar's "revenge" sitting down and in fact, even tried to fix the Duke O'Death with the help of a mechanic to duplicate the vehicle in the game. However, this too, proved futile, as the same thing would happen to the duplicated vehicle. It would explode as soon as the player tries to drive it away.
The said anti-cheat system has only worked for the Duke O'Death and it remains to be seen if other vehicles that have been spawned from the single player mode to the multiplayer mode would suffer the same fate.
This is not the first time players have resolved to find "cheats" to win their way towards the game. But the Duke O'Death anti-cheating system is the first time Rockstar Games has addressed the proliferation of short cuts in the popular game.
"GTA V" is set to hit PCs on April 14.
